Thinking about painting

Today I had an update with my tutors to see what they thought of my toy so far. They were very pleased with the design of the toy and felt that he would sell well in shops. The only point they thought I could change was the tail. They felt that the way I had stuck it together looked like he was wearing a backpack.

After noticing this I was worried that people wouldn't think it is his tail, so I started asking people their opinions. Most people did think it was his tail but there were also a few people who agreed with my tutors about it looking like a backpack.

To sort out the tail problem I drew some new designs of what the toy looked like with its tail at an angle.

Unfortunately my toy would then not fit in any packaging because the tail would stick out too far. Also, if it was at an angle the join between the tail and body would be too fragile to hold and move around in packagaing. As a result of this I decided that it would be best to keep the tails as they are.
